What is the price for a 2017 Land Cruiser Prado TX-L for Baghdad?

A 2017 Land Cruiser Prado 2.7L TX-L with 40,000-70,000 km on the odometer costs $30,000-$36,000 FOB from our yard in China. That price range reflects real, inspected stock — not auction estimates or dealer retail markup. We can supply GCC spec if needed for Iraq import, and shipping to Umm Qasr takes 5-6 weeks. For current Prado inventory and a firm quote on a specific unit, contact WhatsApp +86 155 5692 0288. We are a direct exporter, not agency, not aggregator — you deal with the source, which is why the FOB number you see is the number you pay before freight.

What factors move the price of a 2017 Prado TX-L?

Two identical-looking 2017 Prado TX-L units can sit $4,000-$6,000 apart on the same lot. The gap comes down to a handful of variables that Iraqi buyers should check line by line before wiring anything.

• Mileage band. 40,000-70,000 km is the sweet spot for a 2017 unit. Below 40,000 km, the price climbs toward the top of the range or beyond it, because low-km Prados are scarce and get bid up. Above 70,000 km, expect $1,500-$3,000 off, but inspect suspension bushings, brake rotors, and the timing chain tensioner more carefully.
• Trim and engine. The 2.7L (2TR-FE) TX-L is the volume seller for Iraq — simpler, cheaper to service, and tolerant of lower-octane fuel. The 4.0L V6 TX-L commands $3,000-$5,000 more and returns better highway performance on the Baghdad-Amman or Baghdad-Basra runs, but parts and fuel costs rise accordingly.
• Specification. GCC spec matters for Iraq because of cooling capacity, AC performance in 45°C+ summers, and dust sealing. A Japan-market unit can be converted or accepted as-is, but GCC-spec examples typically hold $1,000-$2,000 more value in Baghdad resale.
• Condition and history. Accident-free with full service records, original paint on all panels, and no chassis rust sits at the top. A repaired front end, repainted panels, or a missing service book drops the price fast — and those are exactly the units that get advertised cheaply elsewhere.
• Options. Sunroof, leather, rear AC vents, and factory navigation add value; aftermarket head units and cheap seat covers do not. Original Toyota accessories are worth more than any local add-on.

Because we buy, inspect, and load our own containers, we can tell you exactly which of these factors applies to a specific chassis number. That is the difference between a direct exporter and a listing site that never touches the car.

What do shipping and Iraq import costs add to the FOB price?

The $30,000-$36,000 figure is FOB — free on board at the Chinese port. It does not include ocean freight, insurance, or Iraq-side clearance. Budget these separately so the landed cost in Baghdad does not surprise you.

• Ocean freight to Umm Qasr. A 40ft container or RoRo slot from China to Umm Qasr typically runs $1,200-$2,500 depending on season, carrier, and whether you share a container. RoRo is often cheaper for a single vehicle; container shipping protects the car better and lets you load spare parts alongside.
• Marine insurance. Usually 0.3%-0.5% of CIF value — roughly $100-$180 on a $33,000 unit. Skip it only if you can absorb a total loss.
• Iraq customs and clearance. Duties, port fees, and broker charges vary with the year model and the valuation the customs office applies. For a 2017 Prado, plan for a meaningful four-figure USD amount, and confirm the current rate with your Baghdad or Basra broker before shipment, because rules shift.
• Inland transport. Umm Qasr to Baghdad by truck is a separate line item. Get a quote from a licensed transporter; do not assume it is included in the ocean freight.
• Transit time. 5-6 weeks port to port is normal. Add 1-2 weeks for Iraq clearance and inland delivery, so 7-8 weeks door to door is a realistic planning number.

We quote FOB because it is the only number we fully control. Everything after the port depends on your broker, your route, and Iraqi regulations on the day — and any exporter who quotes you a single "all-in delivered" price without those variables is guessing.

How do you order, pay, and verify the vehicle?

The process is straightforward, but each step exists to protect both sides. Here is how a typical Prado TX-L order runs from first message to keys in Baghdad.

• Step 1 — Enquiry. Message WhatsApp +86 155 5692 0288 with your target: 2017 Prado 2.7L TX-L, budget, and whether you need GCC spec. We reply with available chassis numbers, photos, and a firm FOB quote.
• Step 2 — Inspection report. Before any deposit, you receive a condition report covering mileage, paint thickness readings, accident history, engine and transmission health, and undercarriage photos. Ask for a cold-start video and a walkaround; a serious exporter will provide both.
• Step 3 — Deposit and contract. A deposit (commonly 30%) locks the unit and triggers the export paperwork. The balance is due before loading. Payment is by bank transfer to our company account — never to a personal account, and never by informal channels.
• Step 4 — Export documents. We prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. For Iraq, confirm with your broker whether a legalized invoice or specific certificate is required at the time of shipment.
• Step 5 — Loading and shipping. You get loading photos, container number or RoRo booking reference, and the B/L draft for approval. Then the 5-6 week clock to Umm Qasr starts.
• Step 6 — Clearance and delivery. Your Iraq broker handles customs; we support with document corrections if anything is queried. Once cleared, inland transport takes the car to Baghdad.

The single most important rule: verify the exporter's identity and banking details independently before sending money. We are a direct exporter, not agency, not aggregator, so our invoice, our yard, and our loading photos all trace to the same company.

Why buy from a direct exporter instead of a marketplace?

Marketplaces and agencies earn from introductions. They may never see the car, never inspect it, and never control the loading. When something goes wrong — a hidden accident repair, a delayed shipment, a document error — you are left chasing a middleman who is chasing someone else.

As a direct exporter, we hold the inventory, inspect each unit, and load our own shipments. That means the mileage you are quoted is the mileage on the cluster, the photos are of the actual chassis, and the FOB price is set by us, not marked up by two layers of brokers. For a $30,000-$36,000 purchase shipped 5-6 weeks to Umm Qasr, that transparency is worth more than a small headline discount from an unknown seller.
